We report the synthesis of Sn_0.24WO₃ single crystals via an alternative, less well-known, solid-state synthetic approach that involves the use of tin chloride as a starting material. The compound adopts an unusual variant of the hexagonal tungsten bronze structure in space group P6/mmm (a ​= ​7.4264(7) Å and c ​= ​3.7843(4) Å) with a previously unreported distribution of Sn cations, disordered over two distinct sites in the tunnels. Sn_0.24WO₃ shows no signs of superconductivity down to 170 ​mK and exhibits weakly-metallic conducting behavior.

通过金属氯化物路线制备的Sn _0.24 WO ₃六角形钨青铜

我们报告了通过一种替代的，鲜为人知的固态合成方法合成Sn _0.24 WO ₃单晶，该方法涉及使用氯化锡作为起始原料。该化合物在空间群P 6 / mmm（a  = 7.4264（7）Å和c  = 3.7843（4）Å）中采用六方钨青铜结构的不寻常变体，具有先前未报告的Sn阳离子分布，无序在隧道中的两个不同地点。Sn _0.24 WO ₃在低至170 mK时无超导迹象，并表现出弱金属导电性能。
